Lebanese Troops Move Deeper into Tripoli Refugee Camp

Soldiers of the Lebanese army are moving deeper into the Nahr-Al-Bared refugee camp in Tripoli as the siege against fighters from the Fatah Al-Islam organization continues. Eight Fatah Al-Islam members died in the fighting on Sunday. The commander of the Lebanese forces reportedly told his troops that the final assault was "imminent." Fighting has gone on for two months, during which time much of the camp that used to be home to 30,000 Palestinians has been reduced to rubble.
